Recently I noticed that optimizing the base strategies using a past
quiet period doesn't work quite well in hi-volatility markets like
this month.

I'm thinking in using a dynamic way to set the entries and exits in
concordance with the volatility. In the past I used the ATR (avg. true
range) but this isn't implemented on JBT.

How do you cope with hi-volatility markets?

The closest available measure of volatility in  JBT is the PriceVolatility indicator.

I would like to make a multiple instrument version of JBT, that can also do simple price streams, and then we could do books on the S&P index, and VIX, and create indicators based on multiple-day data.

You cannot do this as well with the ES contracts because there comes a point where you switch contracts, and the data becomes discontinuous.

But I have no time *sigh*

Are you still using the strategies based on Tension indicator with
some PriceVolatility correction factor, E.g. FinalTension = Tension +
PriceVolat?

No, I moved on to the new set of strategies. I'll include them with the next release in a couple of days.
